Tax Consulting (Indirect Tax) - Full-Time Graduate - London

What does this team do?

Within Indirect Tax Consulting we have two areas of specialism:

Indirect Tax Advisory 

Indirect Taxes are taxes charged on everyday transactional activities, and our team advises on how businesses should manage these. The most well-known Indirect Tax is VAT, but we also cover other transactional taxes including Insurance Premium Tax and Air Passenger Duty, amongst others.

Our Indirect Tax Advisory team help our clients manage their VAT and Indirect Tax positions – whether it is advising on multi-million-pound transactions, VAT on everyday retail products, or how we can help clients adopt tech to report VAT correctly on their income and expenditure. As well as being at the forefront of tax technology, Indirect Taxes involve an understanding of case law, so skillsets and experiences in our team are wide-ranging. 

Global Trade Advisory (GTA)

Global Trade tax regulation and requirements, particularly in the post-Brexit and trade-focused political environment, are at the forefront of our clients’ agendas, and significantly impact their supply chains.  The Global Trade Advisory (GTA team works with some of the largest, most recognisable brands and corporations across the world, undertaking a mix of advisory, compliance and dispute support to clients within customs, excise and trade.

“What I enjoy most about my role at Deloitte is helping clients navigate complex VAT issues and understanding how VAT rules apply in different commercial situations. Every client and project brings new challenges, and I work alongside experts from a wide range of specialisms, which provides constant opportunities to learn and develop”. - Indirect Tax Consultant

“I have enjoyed my time in the graduate scheme at Deloitte, and the best part has been finding practical, commercial solutions for our clients. No two projects are the same, and I have enjoyed exploring how technology, analytics, and automation can be applied to improve processes and solve real business challenges. Working with specialists across the firm keeps me learning and broadening my perspective every day” - Global Trade Advisory Tax Consultant

Where will I work?

At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.

All our workspaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team.
